About me and my therapy practice
It absolutely is possible for positive change to happen - we really can grow beyond our histories and/or our current way of being. You may be aware of trauma in your past or may be needing some support whilst experiencing a particularly difficult time. Or it may be that you feel something, which you can't identify, is missing from your life. I truly believe that working with the right therapist can help.
Additionally, I very much enjoy working with trainee counsellors and psychotherapists, or therapists at the beginning of their professional practice whose work may be highlighting unresolved issues which need addressing.
As a senior-accredited practitioner I have a wealth of experience, having worked as a psychotherapist in a variety of settings, including in the psychotherapy department of a London NHS teaching hospital and for over 20 yrs in an ever-evolving private practice. Importantly, as a fellow life-traveller I bring learnings from my own ongoing therapeutic journey.
It is so important for each of us to find a therapist with whom we feel a connection. I offer an initial session, free of charge, in order for us to explore whether I feel to be the 'right fit' for you at this time.
Contact me by e-mail me and I will get back to you within 24 hours.
